Him, these women, these women, and she be not in love either with Prince Richard or this lad, let blocks head be made a chopping block. Fair Madam, what reply you to my suit, The prince excepts smiles, welcomes, loving looks, The Prince, if he give heed to Marrians suit, Must hear heart-sighs, see sorrow in my eyes, And find cold welcome to calamities, And why for god's sake? Even for Gloster's sake, why by mine honour, and Prince Richard's faith, Your brother Gloster shall have liberty, Upon condition you release a prisoner That you have long held in captivity. I have no prisoner, Yes a world of eyes, your beauty in a willing bondage ties Go to, you are disposed to jest my Lord, In earnest I must be an earnest suitor To you for love, yet you must be my tutor. Are you in love? I dearly love Prince Richard. Then do you love the loveliest man alive. The Princeliest person of King Henry's sons, I like this well. he is virtuous in his mind his body fair, His deeds are Just, his speeches debonair, Better and better still. In deed he is what no body can deny. All lovely, beauty all, all Majesty. I'll tell his excellence what you report, No doubt he will be very thankful, for't, Nay hear you young Lord? God's pity stay. What have you more in Richard's praise to say? I have said to much if you misconstrue me. Duty bids praise him, not unchastity. Unchastity holy heavens forfend it, That he or I, or you should once intend it, They are there sir, close at it, I leave you sir, the more Room the less company. Drink that, farewell, If that sir Richard comes, this ties, this binds, O gold, thy power converteth servants minds. How now fair Madam who hath angered you? Grief at my brother's durance anger's me. I had thought my Ward young Huntingdon had vexed you who he? alas good Gentleman he wronged me not. No matter for all this, I'll tell your tale. Sir there comes no more of you in with him then the Constable. Zounds hear's a beadroll of Bills at the gate indeed, back ye base Now sirrah what's the matter? Marry hear's a stammerer taken clipping the King's English, and the Constable and his watch hath brought him to you to be examined. No Madam we are commanded by the King to watch, and meeting this fellow at Mile-end, he tells us, he is the Porter's son of the Fleet, that the Earl of Gloster sent him to you. Iff forsooth h he desire you to speak to the p Prince for him. O I conceive thee, bid him blithely far, Bear him this Ring in token of my care. If I be rid of this evil Angel that haunts me, many rings, much Fleet will Skinke come unto. Madam, if you know this fellow we'll discharge him.
